We need physical support groups for this madness!! You cannot even feel a physical connection while having this!!
I had a very scary cannabis trip which turned into months of constant panic attacks and fears of death, working with Robin was the best decision I ever made. Even if you're scared, seek help! You're not alone.
There are many studies that suggest that meditation can cause depersonalization. All these spiritual ideas about no self, actually match the psychological description of depersonalization, it's very scary, I've been deep into spirituality and practicing meditation when everything started feeling weird.
my experience all started because i greened out on weed, which caused me to lose feeling in my tongue for hours, and then another time with my arm. and then i ended up developing somatic ocd and that lead me to overthink my entire existence, wondering if im even real etc. realising i exist is one of the worst things to happen and i always think of how much better things were when i didnt care. its starting to get better since watching this channel but nights are always hard to overcome. i want to feel ok about existing again,. im 19 and my life has barely started and i want to live a normal life, but when i think of the fact i have to live for another 50 or so years feels so unbearable and scary. i wish i didnt care at all and could just get on with day to day living like i used to. it sorta makes me miss when my biggest issue was depression and the basic anxiety.
I went through this too when I was 18 and I'm 30 now. And it crops up from time to time, but its never nearly as intense as the first time, and it doesn't last as long. This feeling that you're going through truly does get better. It's about accepting the fear, letting it exist, but continuing to live on in spite of it.
The human mind is plastic, and easy to manipulate. By continually engaging with life, and focusing on the present, your brain will naturally shift back into "feeling normal" and you almost won't even realize it. You'll just feel human again.
It takes time and effort, but it's definitely possible, because I've done it.
You will be fine. I went through it and it gets better. Don't worry. Just be patient and put your faith in God.
I feel like I had all of those contributing factors.
The main one, I think, is being stuck in observer mode. I don't have the usual existential 'thoughts'. It's more like a state, or perspective. When I try to think of memories, or my life, or any part of my identity, my brain shifts into this observer mode where I'm witnessing my own consciousness. It's a horrifying feeling and makes me super anxious, and scared to think about anything. I feel like all I can do is distract myself.
Yep that's all you can do is distract yourself.
Have you ever meditated? There are several studies that say that meditation can cause that. Feeling as "awareness" rather than a person.
I felt like I was going crazy! I just learned the DPDR was a thing today! Thank you for your content!!!
Thank you for this!! Yes!! I was drugged in 2017 and in 2022!!! My experience was absolutely terrifying but I didn’t consider this could be trauma!! Thank you!!!!!
I have DPDR from psych med withdrawal. It’s really bad and it’s TORTURE
Oh my goodness me to!!!
You said from a psych med withdrawal yep!!!
@@yolandaallen853 I’m so sorry. This is not fun at all. How long have you been this way ?
same! this my exact situation. youre not alone! going to be my 4th week.
@@rebelbeaute1441November will be a year with this life stealer🤦🏼♀️
Basically, nobody has a response. It could be thst you are deficient in vitamin B12 and other vitamins like D. I noticed i felt better when having more meat, especially organ meat.
Could months of a poor sleep schedule (ex. Job schedule interference) cause this? Perhaps the poor sleep takes a toll on our nervous systems and segways into dpdr? Just a thought but I am hoping for answers lol
Could dpdr/ ExistAnxiety come from drug withdrawal??
hi yes. im going through that right now too. you're going to be okay
@@MarcusLiewFilmsdo you still have it?
@@moonlight22014 i’m 10 months out. It’s gotten a lot better. months 1 to 7 were the worst
I really love your videos and they have helped me so much with my dpdr. Do you think you could make a video about the physical things that happen with dpdr like body numbness and emotion numbness and the physical things that depersonalization comes with
I just did! It's my latest video :)
Can this happen after taking anxiety medication venlafaxine 37mg I took it ND got a pancik attack ND then I felt gone dead mot me
Can COv#D be a cause of DPDR? I got it December 2021, very mild (only had mild flu like symptoms). About two days later my flu like symptoms were gone but I started experiencing depersonalization. Of course at the time I had no idea what I was experiencing which only made my anxiety worse and the dpdr symptoms worse. I’ve had it 24/7 for about a year and a half now.
I was wondering the same thing. I have chronic conditions, and I get derealization at times. I’m thinking it’s actually caused by the nervous system getting out of whack. During my chronic painful episodes, I have immense stress and even the anticipation of a flair coming on has caused the derealization. I’ve had it for five weeks straight now even though I don’t have pain at the moment.
It’s a vicious cycle.
Have you identified any common personality traits in the people you have interviewed that may make them more susceptible to depersonalization/derealization?
In terms of who gets it, not necessarily as it can happen to anyone. But I do see a big difference in People who recover quickly versus more slowly. Made a video about this you can see here: czcams.com/video/v_HKezefocQ/video.html
@@robinschindelka2117 thanks for the answer, I'll check the video. I was curious about your opinion because I've heard some researcher (and philosopher by the way) called Anna Ciaunica in an interview suggesting that sensitive and observant type people may be more susceptible to dissociate, even though it is indeed a protective non voluntary response of the ANS present in every human. I don't know... Maybe, those traits are actually the effect of experiencing DPDR. It seems much more common and widespread than what I thought...
I had my first dissociation experience when I was 12 or 13 (I was a fearful-anxious kid, and the trigger for the first episode is related to "t" trauma), I am in my late thirties now. It was very frightening and alienating and so difficult to articulate. For me, it escalated with years and became chronic, it impacted deeply in my development and the trust in myself and in life. I wasn't able to find any psychiatrist or therapyst that would understand or validate my experience in the way that I needed and was useful and I felt so alone as it seemed something so rare.
It seems that things are changing in recent years and I am glad other people in similar situations are able find proper information, validation and help on time. The testimonials are so important specially for other people experiencing DPDR, but for health professionals too!
DPDR makes my boyfriend seen not real and being at his house also doesn’t feel real it feels like a dream and I’ve been feeling like this for the past 4 months
